Honeydew melon
Why wouldn't a family member be a reliable source? James Edward Gauger was my grandmother's brother. He was my great uncle. I am an eighty-year-old woman. When I die no one will be left who knows the details of how the Honeydew came to be. If you don't allow this Ed Gauger will not have the recognition he he should have for this wonderful feat. Please reconsider. I may have a copy of his death notice in the Denver Post. I have a flier framed in my kitchen that says, "Honeydew melons, James E. Gauger propagator." Do any of these things help?
